Scared/shocked excited

[incognitony]

I went in for my first ultrasound today at 8 weeks and the dr saw twins!!! I have one son and never imagined having twins. Now the scary part (besides the fact that I was blindsided with twins) the dr said one baby was perfect and had a great heartbeat and the other baby's heartbeat is stop and go and was really slow (he wouldn't give me a number) he said anything can happen at this point.

I don't know what to think at this point, I never wanted twins but then again I never thought I would have them, I don't want to get excited about the second baby and then lose it.... I guess I'm rambling and just want thoughts and prayers

I go back in two weeks for a second ultrasound, has anyone had the same experience and have baby b do well?

That's exactly it.. If he only saw one baby and it was going well I would be so happy but then I heard twins and got so scared and then when he said one might not be okay I got more scared/nervous.... It's soo much at once and I don't even know how I'm supposed to feel

Now that I know there are two babies inside me I want them both to be okay even though I never wanted twins.... Does that make sense?

Ugh I'm a big mess tonight

And I just want to be able to be excited about the news but don't want to be setting myself up for a disappointment

Congrats! I'm sure I would feel the same and I hope both are ok!

[magpie]

congratulations! I think I would have similar mixed emotions in your boat. I hope that everything turns out okay. You'll be in my thoughts.

[stacyb1983]

Congrats. My thoughts and prayers are with you. That is a lot to adjust to. I hope both babies are okay.

[hilwithonelary]

However you feel is how you feel. I'm sure many twin moms were hoping for 1 healthy baby, but once they found out there were 2, wanted both of them very much. I'm can see how it's an especially confusing set of emotions when one baby isn't doing as well as they'd like. Be kind to yourself and don't feel like you need to feel any certain way.

[yellowbrkrd]

Wow! Congrats! I hope everything turns out okay.

I found out I was having twins at 9 weeks and felt the same way. At first I was kind of uneasy with the idea of twins, it just wasn't what I had pictured for my first kid(s). But at the same time I was scared out of my mind I would lose one. And now, I wouldn't trade having twins for anything in the world. I absolutely love having twins.
Fingers crossed that your babies stay strong and healthy. Twin pregnanacy is one long worry about 1,000 different things. The MOM board is awesome for any help or questions!

Congrats and good luck! A twin pregnancy is a special kind of insanity. I went from being nervous at my first ultrasound for one baby, to being told I was having twins and excited/scared/all the feelings to being told my type of twins were very high risk and I had a 50% chance of bringing home two healthy babies. There was a lot of crying that first couple days after my first ultrasound. Luckily I ended up with two amazing girls that are worth all the anxiety they caused.

For your specific issue with one baby having a strong heart rate and the other not. I have had friends end up with good outcomes. Fingers crossed for you!
